  4. Never mind the 6870, the 6790 is really more than most people would ever need, quite surprised how well it performs even at 1080p. But for the small price increase, 6870 is much better value.

  8. Two of the HD6870s seem best to me, just a little more than one of the 6950’s.

    They should lower the 6950 price to £199 inc vat IMO or even £190.

  9. Great review man, im really looking at one of those 6790s for my media center, but it seems poor value when the 6870 is only 25 quid more.
